From the early Aryan civilization to the British, India has gone through a lot
of changes, good and bad. Good I say because of the variety of knowledge we
have gained, the insight we have procured and religions and cultures that stay in
harmony and peace. And bad because of the borders we set up around countries,
around certain sections of people and the destruction that our own brothers and sisters
cause to our country. From all the problems, there has always been a group of people who
has been protecting our motherland from problems outside and within our country. Yes,
they are the brave soldiers of the Indian army.
They stay away from their family, and protect their most respected mother, India.
They sometimes lose their lives in this process, but they are happy.
They did their best to protect their motherland. Often, these war heroes go unnoticed,
unheard and even disregarded. But the fact is, unlike heroes we see on the screen and
in the television, these are the real ones, fighting hard. Their conditions of live are tough,
but they are ready for it.
Some say that being a soldier is not rewarding.
A job is not in the money that we make rather it is in the service we
do to our society and country. We may become an engineer or a doctor,
but finally if we settle in another country and forget to give back to our own,
we have nothing for our motherland that has made you reach where you are.
When I read about the recent killing of the Indian army men at the border,
I realized that these men are the ones to be praised.
We have elected our ministers and government,
but they don’t do the duty of standing by the borders of our country
protecting us every single day and neither can we. They are praised and
then forgotten like the countless war heroes in our country.
It is such a pride to see the army officers during the parade.
It is not in their shiny uniforms rather it is in the patriotism that is
there in their hearts.
Our country should change its outlook about heroes.
Heroes are not those who go around shooting people,
getting fancy cars and getting the girl in the end, rather
real heroes are those who keep the peace of this country alive.
Real heroes are those who have spent their lives away from luxuries of
their home and family to fight for our country when needed. Real heroes
are those who put their lives in danger, to protect our lives. It is these
heroes that need the media attention and the attention of the government.
Their death should not go unwarranted or maybe a small article in the corner
of the newspaper. Rather it should be brought to the light. Think about the
families of the deceased army officers, their pain and suffering.
When these army officers die fighting, our government should ensure
that they get help and support quickly and efficiently.
The government has the duty to ensure that these families,
despite having lost their family member, can live with their head high,
without depending on others for help. This is the least our country can do
for those who have protected millions of families across the country.
If the country these officers served deserts their family in the end what
is the use of serving the country?
Our country can stand high,
With no fear or any enemy war cry,
For we have the brave men and women,
Our army, who protect us, now and then.
Our country’s flag flutters,
The beautiful tricolor, it flutters.
I salute those officers, who gave their lives,
So that safe and sound, remains others’ lives.
For these are the brave men and women,
Our army, who protect us, now and then.
With each passing second, with each passing minute,
We may not think about them, not a bit,
But these are the ones, who have to be remembered,
Forever, the heroes to be remembered.
For these are the brave men and women,
Our army, who protect us, now and then.
I hope our country prospers,
Remains safe, forever and ever,
Let us respect the people behind this,
The valiant people behind this,
For these are the brave men and women,
Our army, who protect us, now and then.
